Wind Speed at Height z above Surface

LaTeX Go Wind Speed = (Friction Velocity/Von Kármán Constant)*ln(Height z above Surface/Roughness Height of Surface)

Wind Speed at Height z above Surface given Standard Reference Wind Speed

LaTeX Go Wind Speed = Wind Speed at Height of 10 m/(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7)

Wind Speed at Standard 10-m Reference Level

LaTeX Go Wind Speed at Height of 10 m = Wind Speed*(10/Height z above Surface)^(1/7)

Height z above Surface given Standard Reference Wind Speed

LaTeX Go Height z above Surface = 10/(Wind Speed at Height of 10 m/Wind Speed)^7
